Q: I installed the map in MapSource or Basecamp but don’t see anything!
A: Try the following:
- Make sure you selected the map in the pull-down menu (when a pull-down menu is shown).
- Clear the map cache by pressing the ctrl G key combination a few times.
- Mostly the maps cover only a small part of the world and is easilly overlooked. Press the ctrl - key combination (control key together with minus key).
Q: I installed a second map from garmin.openstreetmap.nl in MapSource/BaseCamp/RoadTrip and don’t see the first map anymore:
A: The maps from garmin.openstreetmap.nl use a single product ID so installing a second map overwrites the first map. Solution: download the application JaVaWa GMTK and use that to change the product ID of the first map before installing the second map (click on the flag on the top of the page for other languages, like English).
Q: _windows.exe installer for Garmin BaseCamp/MapSource (Windows) missing?
A: The selected tiles exceed the 2 Gb limit that the installer (created by nsis) can handle. You can notice this in the left panel, the text with size of selected tiles will turn from green to orange.
If there is no windows installer supplied, you will still be able to install the maps, by using the _macosx.zip = Installer for Garmin BaseCamp/RoadTrip (Mac OSX)
Unzip it and place the .gmap folder to the default Garmin map folder. The location of this folder depends on the Windows version.
In Vista or W7 this is: C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps or C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\Maps (please note this is a hidden folder!)
Windows XP: c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\garmin\maps
Or you can use http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html to install the gmap maps.
